As part of the recent EU project "Discover the Cosmos", a starter exercise, using Minerva software to identify particle tracks in the ATLAS detector, has been developed for use in schools.

All resources needed are given below.

If you have any problems or difficulties, please e-mail Lynne Long - [[mailto:l.long@bham.ac.uk][l.long@bham.ac.uk]]

We are able to support schools local to Birmingham/run example masterclasses with pupils & teachers on the school site by request.

   * An introductory powerpoint presentation can be downloaded here: [[%ATTACHURL%/Introducing_Minerva_workshop_Nov_2013.1.pptx][Introducing_Minerva_workshop_Nov_2013.1.pptx]] 
   * A version of the Minerva software can be downloaded here: [[%ATTACHURL%/MINERVA_version_Dec_2012.zip][MINERVA_version_Dec_2012.zip]] 
   * Useful handouts to print for the exercise can be found here: [[%ATTACHURL%/General_instructions_for_the_exercise.doc][General_instructions_for_the_exercise.doc]] ; [[%ATTACHURL%/Event_summary_sheet.doc][Event_summary_sheet.doc]] 
   * Data sheets to be filled in as part of the exercise can be found here: [[%ATTACHURL%/Result_sheet_20.doc][Result_sheet_20.doc]] ; [[%ATTACHURL%/Minerva_Z_mass_calculator.xlsx][Minerva_Z_mass_calculator.xlsx]] 
   * Z data files to upload into the software for the second part of the exercise can be downloaded here: [[%ATTACHURL%/Zevents_simulated.zip][Zevents_simulated.zip]] 
   * Example answer sheets for teachers can be found here: [[%ATTACHURL%/TeachersSolutionSheetfor20events.doc][TeachersSolutionSheetfor20events.doc]] ; [[%ATTACHURL%/Minerva_Z_mass_calculator_with_20_data.xlsx][Minerva_Z_mass_calculator_with_20_data.xlsx]] 
   * Plotting tool can be found here: http://www.hep.ph.bham.ac.uk/outreach/Minerva/plot.html

Many more data sets and other projects using the Minerva software can be found on the Discover the Cosmos Portal at http://portal.discoverthecosmos.eu/

A lot of the data sets on the portal are now *REAL data* from the ATLAS experiment and may be suitable for student use on *EPQ PROJECTS* which require data analyais as well as research on a topic.

The portal also gives access to other numerous educational materials (educational scenarios and lesson plans, students projects, animations, online tools and laboratories, guidelines for interactive experiences with Astronomy and HEP Resources).
